My understanding is decaf does but not the high test.

Depends on the program and your NUT's/Surgreon's beliefs.

Coffee did not count on my program as a liquid, but decaf was okay. HOWEVER, in my program they wanted 800-100 oz of liquids per day ASAP and 64 oz of that had to be plain water.

I have VSG friends who have counted coffee as part of their liquid intake since the get go.

My NUT doesn't count coffee as part of our liquid intake. I believe that is due to the caffeine.

It should.  The myth that it dehydrates you has long since been disproven.

I agree, coffee should count as liquid, especially for those in the early stages just trying to make it to 64 oz.

I drink a lot of coffee.  But I drink more water.  Water is just so darn good for you.  I wouldn't count coffee as water, but I'd also recommend getting well above the 64oz.

For me, anythign with caffeine only counted as half-value.
